This project will examine multimodal atomic imaging approaches enabled by the most intense femtosecond and attosecond XFEL pulses. The results from these simulations will provide predictions and new concepts to guide multimodal measurements using XFEL, and at the same time, maximize use of limited LCLS-II resources.
The goal of this project is to use a comparative framework that includes three state-of-the-art colorectal cancer models. Funded under the National Cancer Institute’s (NCI) Cancer Intervention and Surveillance Modeling Network (CISNET) program, these colorectal cancer models were independently developed for the evaluation of interventions, with emphasis on screening, and describe colorectal cancer natural history using different underlying assumptions.
This project will employ advanced ab initio quantum many-body techniques coupled with applied mathematics and computer science methods to study a wide range of nuclei and to accurately describe the atomic nucleus from first principles.
Researchers from the Southern California Earthquake Center (SCEC) are working to enhance their earthquake simulation and hazard mapping tools to provide the best possible information in terms of earthquake ground motion and seismic hazard.
